Lyrics
100,000 Skulls.
.......................
"The more I weep, the more I am afflicted, the more my heart may not desire it,
If I only had not to die, not to perish...I suffer and feel pain"
Children borne upon open litters, adorned in vestal robes,
Insatiable, Tlaloc shall feast upon their souls,
Venerate the Goddess, mother of all gods and man,
Coatlicue, mother of the stars, fire, fertility, death and rebirth,
Bound upon the altar, we offer this sacrifice,
Killed in order to placate the gods, torn from blooded entrails we offer up this heart to the sun,
One by one the flutes are shattered upon the steps, a year of life in metaphor of death,
Drawn and flayed, one more crown added to the rack of 100,000 skulls,
Slaves cast upon the great temple fire, to writhe amongst the flames,
Their still beating heats thrown to the feet of Xiuhtecuhtli,
Venerate the Goddess, mother of all gods and man,
Coatlicue, mother of the stars, fire, fertility, death and rebirth,
Bound upon the altar, we offer this sacrifice,
Killed in order to placate the gods, torn from blooded entrails we offer up this heart to the sun,
"Birth comes...Life comes upon the earth"
